Ltd.). As shown in Table 1, the light-scattering defect density was 3.2 ⁇ 10 9 /cm 3 .
- the SOI wafer of Reference Example 1 was subjected to an extremely-short thermal treatment (laser annealing) which was performed in a process of manufacturing a device, in a laser spike annealing furnace in the condition of a maximum temperature of 1200° C. Then, it was checked using an X-ray topography method whether there was slip dislocation migrated to the surface of the wafer or not. As a result, slip dislocation was not observed, as shown in Table 1.
- laser annealing extremely-short thermal treatment
- a silicon wafer (oxygen concentration of 11.5 ⁇ 10 17 to 13.6 ⁇ 10 17 atoms/cm 3 (Old-ASTM)) sliced from a monocrystaline silicon ingot of 200 nm in diameter, which is the same as that of Example 1, was thermally oxidized at 1100° C., thereby forming a silicon dioxide film of 200 nm.
- a silicon wafer a wafer for a support: oxygen concentration of 11.5 ⁇ 10 17 to 13.6 ⁇ 10 17 atoms/cm 3 (Old-ASTM)
- the wafer used as the active layer was subjected to surface grinding or surface etching, thereby forming an active layer with the thickness of about 1000 nm. In this manner, a laminated SOI wafer was obtained.
- the defect density induced by the thermal treatment near the interface between the support layer and the insulated oxide film layer of the SOI wafer after the thermal treatment was evaluated by a 90° light-scattering method, using MO-441 (manufactured by Mitsui Mining & Smelting Co. Ltd.). As shown in Table 1, the light-scattering defect density was 3.5 ⁇ 10 9 /cm 3 .
- the SOI wafer of Reference Example 2 was subjected to an extremely-short thermal treatment (laser annealing) which was performed in a process of manufacturing a device, in a laser spike annealing furnace in the condition of a maximum temperature of 1300° C. Then, it was checked using an X-ray topography method whether there was slip dislocation migrated to the surface of the wafer or not. As a result, slip dislocation was not observed, as shown in Table 1.
- laser annealing extremely-short thermal treatment
- the SOI wafer of the present invention does not generate slip dislocation even if laser annealing is conducted at a maximum temperature of 1200° C. or more for no more than 0.1 seconds, since the light-scattering defect density measured by a 90° light-scattering method at the depth region of 260 ⁇ m toward the support layer side from the interface between the insulated oxide film layer and the support layer is no more than 2 ⁇ 10 8 /cm 3 . Therefore, it is consequently extremely useful industrially.
